So it was interesting watching George Galloway last night. It occured to me that the governments here and in the USA have spent so long reaffirming the connection between the war on terror and the war on Iraq, even though there is precisely NOTHING to connect the two, that it was brilliant to watch a Blairite clone retard fuck MP get backed up against a wall because of it. I'm aware it's fairly deplorable for Galloway to turn this immediately into political point scoring, but still. His point was that this was the price Britain paid for the war in Iraq, and how the Labour government clearly valued the lives of Londoners much higher than the massive death toll of Iraqis at Fallujah, because one set of deaths was OK while the other was despicable. At that point, the Labour MP would have loved to be able to say, actually, an Al Qaeda related attack would have nothing to do with Iraq because they aren't connected, so going to war in Iraq hasn't caused this tragedy. But he couldn't.

In other news, I got a first.

Speak soon,

Craig.
